- Russia has undergone tremendous changes over the past ten years and remains in a state of flux. Although the disintegration of the Soviet Union marked the end of a 70-year experiment to achieve modernization and industrial development outside the framework of the capitalist world system, the Russian Federation is still struggling with the restructuring of internal political and economic power, as well as with the question of Russia's place in the world and its relationship to the western system. Indeed, Russia is currently in the midst of another enormous experiment in political, economic and cultural transformation, processes from which we can learn much about democracy, capitalism and markets, and the relationship between culture and politics.
- In the first few weeks of the course we trace the development of Russian politics from Tsarist times through the Soviet period, Mikhail Gorbachev and perestroika, and the new Russian state under Boris Yeltsin and his successor Vladimir Putin, looking at the internal conflicts and external forces that shaped the Soviet and Russian experiences. In the rest of the course we use the changes currently taking place in Russia as a prism through which to look at broader questions of the concepts of democracy, capitalism and markets. We also consider the question of culture and nationalism, in particular the "Russian idea" of a uniquely Russian path of development superior to the Western experience, and issues of Russia's relationship with the outside world.
- Throughout the course we will be thinking about and discussing broader questions in the context of Russian politics, including: the tension between being part of a global economic and political system on the one hand and cultural specificities on the other; how this tension affects economic, cultural and foreign policies; the question of influence over other countries, or "empire"; the impact of policies of the "West" on the internal developments of countries in the "periphery"; problems and challenges of democratization and capitalism, and the at times problematic relationship between the two.

Frederick bluntly informed his nephew that, in concert with Russia and Denmark, he had guaranteed the integrity of the existing Swedish constitution, and significantly advised the young monarch to play the part of mediator and abstain from violence. ...
